Most of us were born into ordinary families. We don’t all come from families of great wealth, fame or significance. However, when we are brought into right relationship with God through faith in Jesus, we become part of His family! God becomes our Father, King Jesus our elder brother and we get millions of brothers and sisters in Christ all around the world. In this special Mothers’ Day message from our senior minister Tim Healy, we explore 5 life-changing truths about being in the family of God that He wants all of us to know.

Our guest speaker and best-selling author Steven K. Scott, shares the two most important questions a Christian can ask – what does God want from me, and how can we give God what He wants.

Jesus is alive and Jesus is Lord! This is a profound reality and one that has significant implications for each one of us. How should we respond to the truth that Christ has been raised from the dead and all authority in heaven and earth given to Him? Find out in this Easter Sunday message from our senior minister Tim Healy.

In John 13 Jesus demonstrated what a humble heart that serves looks like. The trouble is, it’s a heart that is extremely counter cultural to our western context. Jesus didn’t let social status or cultural norms dictate His relationships with people, instead He got up, got low and got messy. In this message Aaron Stacey, challenges us to follow Jesus’ example, and embrace a humble heart that loves, serves and engages with all the people of our world.

A big part of why Jesus came was to make it possible for each of us to experience the goodness and kindness of God in the form of His grace. We will never understand God if we don’t understand grace and in this message from Tim Healy we discover just how amazing and surprising God’s grace really is.

In Mark 2 we see the friends of a paralysed man going to extreme lengths so he could encounter Jesus and be healed. Are we willing to do the same? Our guest speaker Melinda Dwight shares the different perspective of each one in this story and how Jesus doesn’t always answer the way you expect.

The trouble with Jesus is that he calls us the light of the world, not the light of the church. Zac Gageler highlights four trends of closet Christianity and shares practical wisdom to help us faithfully function as light carriers within a dark world

The Trouble with Jesus is that he doesn’t call us to comfortable, convenient, cultural Christianity – He calls us to lay down our ambitions, our desires, our allegiances, our priorities, our lives and follow. Ryan Gageler in this message, shares that faithfulness to Jesus is marked by discipleship to Jesus.

Jesus came to liberate our lives from enslavement to man-made religious systems and their tendency to produce religious hypocrisy in us. In His challenge to the Jewish religious leaders of the time, Jesus exposed seven things that reveal the presence of a religious spirit in our hearts. In this message from Tim Healy, we discover what they are, and how to be free from them, so that you can love God and serve others with a pure heart.

In Luke 15, the religious leaders accused Jesus of associating with sinners. Jesus confronted these leaders and turned their traditions upside down. Our guest speaker Mark Conner shares a perspective of the real Jesus and an aspect of the prodigal son story that may surprise you.

Psalm 92 describes those in right standing with God, likening them to a tree. In this message our guest speaker James Aiton shares how being planted, flourishing and producing fruit is vital to growing in God.

The family of God is made up of many different generations, each one uniquely positioned to serve and support the others. In this message from Tim Healy, we discover that we are better together when we embrace our diversity and strive for unity as a multigenerational church.

One of the best things about following Jesus is that you get to be part of the family God. However, within the context of spiritual family, we all have a deep desire for friendship and relationship. So how do we move from simply belonging to the family of God, to finding friendship within the family of God? In this message, Tim Healy shares five essentials steps that will guide your way.

As Riverview Church we have a shared future that is full of purpose and promise. We belong together and are better together! In this message, our Senior Minister, Tim Healy, shares the vision that will shape our shared life as a faith community in the year ahead. The best is yet to come!

As followers of Jesus and image bearers of our Creator, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we all have a purpose. To represent Him, wherever we go in whatever we do. If you have an 'everyday', you have a purpose!

God has gifted us with the freedom and ability to choose. That power comes with great responsibility as the choices we make have far reaching implications. Discover how the ability to exercise our volitional capacity aligns our lives with the will and the way of God and attracts blessing and favour from God.

In the plane of your life, is Jesus at the controls or have you hijacked the cockpit? In John 14:6, we discover that direction is secondary to the One who directs our steps. Jesus calls us to relinquish our desire for control and deepen our dependance on Him as the way, the truth and the life.

Jesus’s statement, "I am the light of the world” follows one of the greatest grace-filled stories in all the bible - the woman caught in adultery. In this message, Aaron Stacey shares how the law reveals our sin, His love reveals God’s grace, and His light reveals our hope.

In John 6, Jesus declares himself to be “the bread of life”, and through this statement of identity, gives us valuable insight into who God is. Just as we need to eat every day, we need Him every day to sustain us at the point of our greatest need. In this message Tim Healy shares how receiving Jesus is the key to receiving abundant and eternal life.

Guest speaker Paul Scanlon shares how God used Pharaoh and the bricks without straw scenario to force movement amongst a people who had become attached to an enemy they thought couldn’t get any worse. Paul explains that sometimes the difference between liberation and freedom is an enemy not a friend.
